About Me


I want to do more
I realized that all I've ever wanted was to be passionate about what I do in life, and I've always been jealous of people I watch pursuing their dreams in construction, people pursuing their dreams in design, and I think, "why the heck didn't I become passionate about something easier to succeed in other than music?"
the thing is, that once you "make it" in music, people will look at you and say "wow, this guy has followed his dreams, and achieved greatness" but every step before that point, people look at you and say "wow, this guy needs to quit chasing his tail, and apply himself"
I hope to God this isn't a big waste of time.
I hope to God I'm not a waste of time.
I have fears, I have dreams.
"May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in YOUR sight, Oh Lord, my rock and my redeemer."-Psalms 19:14
I write poetry to clear my head.
Beautiful
She moves just so
she moves me
though I try not to let it show
Lovely
She looks just right
She looks so right
I think I’ll let her see tonight
She’s Abundant
Because I see her everywhere
and She’s Amazing
because I’m speechless everytime
and she’s Intriguing,
Cause I cant seem to look away
and I need her so bad

Well spoken Patrick!

My Interests

We go shooting
We Go Snowboarding!
We Rock Out Harder than you Ever Could

I'd like to meet:

...I could stand to see HER a little more often.....

but I love meeting new people, I just don't let them buy me drinks.(that's dangerous you know)

Music:

I'm in this band....we like to rock. it's pretty much the most fun thing EVER!

Books:

Ten Pieces

So what the hell am I supposed to do
with ten empty boxes?
I didn't need them.
But here they are,
collecting space in my dust
my crowded room
its lonely here.
You can keep them! (you say so inspired)
they'll be good for you!
its about time you pack up
your ten piece heart.
and leave this home.

(I try to remember...)
how is this good for me?

Slip out through the window.
I'm undetected, yet undetermined
leave the boxes, just a backpack
with an empty superglue
(I am so not ready for this)

I leave ten times just so you notice.
I'd leave more, if you let me.
but you've found my present,
to say goodbye;

My nine piece donation
I couldn't find it all.

Heroes:

Jesus the one who I love more than ANYTHING!!!!
This is how I think life should be..
